"We've arrived. The next victim should be here."

As Su Qingyuan spoke, she glanced warily at the two students walking down the corridor.

"By the way, why was Chen Feng so certain that the next victim would appear here?" Mu Wen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Standing opposite the bookshelf, Chen Feng immediately pushed the books in front of him aside and looked at Mu Wen seriously, saying, "I know my enemy very well. Teguer likes to weave puzzles with the blood, memories, and weaknesses of his enemies, but his ultimate goal is always the same: to surprise everyone."

"So?" Mu Wen frowned, seemingly not understanding anything.

"I have investigated the crime scenes of five victims, and this thing was found in all of them."

Chen Feng took a small piece of metal out of his pocket.

It was a bronze fragment the size of a finger, its surface covered with a layer of dried, dark red bloodstains. Under the dim lights of the library, it seemed to resemble living, breathing creatures of flesh and blood.

"This is?"

Mu Wen reached out to touch it, but Su Qingyuan grabbed his arm.

"This is a Soul-Eroded Copper Fragment from the Illusion Demon Clan," Chen Feng began to explain...

As a member of the demon race, the Phantom Demon is naturally able to separate its consciousness from its physical body.

Therefore, it is not difficult to tear off a wisp of primordial will and permanently store it in this bronze.

These Soul-Eroded Copper Plates usually look like ordinary metal. Not to mention ordinary martial artists, even experts below the Heaven Rank could easily mistake them for ordinary metal.

They had no idea that the malice hidden inside that small piece of metal was lurking.

Su Qingyuan lowered her voice slightly: "Although the Soul-Eroding Copper Fragment may seem inconspicuous, it is extremely deadly to ordinary people. This wisp of will can erupt at any time and directly enter a person's sea of ​​consciousness. According to Chen Feng's description, the first five victims were all like this."

Mu Wen nodded: "I see."

Chen Feng expressionlessly took out four identical bronze fragments from his pocket and gently placed them on the wooden bookshelf.

The five fragments seemed to be magnetically attracted to each other, fitting together perfectly to form a palm-sized round bronze plaque.

"With my blood, I call your name—Karendyus Ash."

The moment the words fell, a section of demonic flame, invisible to ordinary people, instantly appeared beside Chen Feng, condensing into a tall and imposing figure in mid-air.

Karendius Ember was dressed in a well-tailored black outfit, with long, dark red hair loosely draped over his shoulders, the ends of which were sparkling with tiny hellfire.

His golden vertical pupils looked like a melted sun, and the pair of small, exquisite black curved horns on his head added a touch of devilish handsomeness to his appearance.

The Ember Demon Lord snapped his fingers, and the hellfire surrounding him instantly subsided.

"Hey Chen Feng, can you please stop summoning me every time I'm on a date? The lava bed in hell has just warmed up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Karendius Jin's gaze fell on Su Qingyuan, his golden vertical pupils instantly brightening, and his previously languid expression vanished.

Karendius Jin straightened his collar and bowed slightly to Su Qingyuan, his movements as elegant as those of a medieval nobleman.

"Oh, beautiful lady, please forgive my rudeness just now. I am Karendius Ash, the 156th Demon Lord of Hell, who rules over the Ash demon race and the dark flames... Compared to that, it is truly an honor of my life to meet such a beautiful and charming being as you."

Chen Feng: "Calendius."

Su Qingyuan's lips twitched slightly. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

This was the first time in her life she had encountered such a... passionate devil.

Su Qingyuan: "...Chen Feng, who is this...?"

Karendius Jin smiled indifferently, completely ignoring Chen Feng's increasingly dark expression beside him, and continued to fawn over Su Qingyuan.

"Your beauty is as pure as the first light of the moon, and the dagger you slowly raise is as white as a star and as sharp as frost. Only a beauty like you is worthy of such a divine weapon. If you don't mind, I am willing to use the armor of the Hellhound Lord to forge a new sword for you, so that it can forever protect your beauty."

"Karendyus," Chen Feng said again, but this time, his tone was so cold it could freeze.

"Huh?" Karendius turned around reluctantly, her face saying, "Why are you being so inconsiderate?" "What's wrong, Chen Feng? Can't we talk about it later?"

"I summoned you here so you could activate this Soul-Eroding Copper Piece. We can chat later."

Chen Feng suppressed his urge to beat up his contractor and said helplessly.

"One of the phantom demons has already taken the next victim; we don't have time to waste here."

"So you have something important to say. Okay... let me see what it is..."

With a snap of his fingers, Karendius Jhin.

The Soul-Eroded Copper Plate lying in mid-air in Chen Feng's palm suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, and a straight red beam shot out from the center of the plate, pointing directly at the stairwell at the end of the corridor, and finally disappearing into the passage leading to the underground floor.

A hint of doubt appeared on Karendius Jhin's face, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

The Demon Lord of Ash turned around, looking at Chen Feng with a solemn expression, and said, "It's down there, in the deepest storage room of the underground library... However, Chen Feng, that guy's identity is a bit special, and I can't personally deal with him, so I probably can't help you with this."

"Even you can't move?" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow.

Karendius Jin scratched his head, a rare look of embarrassment on his face: "I smelled the Demon King's aura on that guy. Under normal circumstances, I can't disobey his orders. And..."

Karendius Jhin looked a little troubled.

Chen Feng was also somewhat surprised.

Karendius Jin himself is a demon lord of the Desolate Rank, with extremely powerful strength. If even he cannot deal with Teguer, then the forces behind Teguer are probably not so simple.

"It's alright, we can do it ourselves." Chen Feng immediately grabbed the Soul-Eroding Copper Piece and gave Su Qingyuan and Mu Wen a knowing look.

"You must be careful..."

"Calendius Ember said solemnly."

"That guy's a bit weird."
